Import Videos from a CSV file

This tool allows you to import Videos corresponding to the entries from a .csv file. Here, you can also generate your own .csv template file by selecting the Profile Fields to be included in it by using the “Generate new CSV template file” link below. Before starting to use this tool, please read the following points carefully.

Don't add any new column in the csv file from which importing has to be done.

The data in the files should be pipe('|') separated and in a particular format or ordering. So, there should be no pipe('|') in any individual column of the CSV file . If you want to add comma(',') separated data in the CSV file, then you can select the comma(',') option during the CSV file upload process. Note: There is one drawback of using the comma(',') separated data that you will not be able to use comma in fields like description, price, overview etc. for the entries in the CSV file.

Video title, description and category are the required fields for all the entries in the file.

Categories, sub-categories and 3rd level categories name should exactly match with the existing categories, sub-categories and 3rd level categories

Before starting the import process, it is recommended that you should first create Categories, Profile Fields and do Category-Profile mappings from the 'Category-Video Profile Mapping' section.

In case you want to insert more than one tag for an entry, then the tags string should be separated by hash('#'). For example, if you want to insert 2 tags for an entry - 'tag1' and 'tag2', then tag string for that will be 'tag1#tag2'.

You can import the maximum of 10,000 Videos at a time and if you want to import more, you would have to then repeat the whole process. For example, you have to import 15000 Videos. Then, you would have to create 2 CSV files - one having 10,000 entries and another having 5,000 entries corresponding to the Videos. After that, just import both the files using 'Import Videos' option.

You can also 'Stop' and 'Rollback' the import process. 'Stop' will just stop the import process going on at that time from that file and 'Rollback' will undo or delete all the Videos created from that CSV import file till that time.
